ALBANY, Jan. 6.—Senator William M. Bennett, representing the upper west side, New York, introduced a resolution in the Senate this after- noon for legislative investigation of the subway accident.

There was no objection trom Senators, but Bennett sald he «o- quiesced in observing the agreement of leaders. Tho resolution cited facts of the accident and said It “cailed attention to the use of wooden cars in the sub- way and to the chaotic condition of Public Service Commission regulation in the First District.” ‘The resolution further called for a committee of three Senators and five Asnemblymen to “investigate the ac-{ cident, the Publle Service Commis- sion and to recommend legislation for reorganization of the commission.” Bennett's district embraces tho 19st dential west side from Sixty-fifth to 120th Street, and has re miles of subway in it than any other district.
